Monday, February 27, 2017 - My first impression is a huge similarity to what I would expect from a good Bordeaux from the same vintage. Which to me demonstrates how fine a Bordeaux blend this is, and how well it has kept for its 17 years. Stored in cellars since arriving in the UK, decanting 1 hour revealed a small amount of sediment. The colour is quite garnet with little browning. There is still good fruit, however the nose shows more of sloes and some minerality. The palate is earthy and rich, with some sweetness from the fruit. Absolutely beautiful with fillet of beef. A real pleasure to drink.
